Amazing Medical Discovery: Transfusions of Young Blood Appear to Rejuvenate the Elderly

Amazing Medical Discovery: Transfusions of Young Blood Appear to Rejuvenate the Elderly

Looks like vampire movies are on to something. So far, it's just mice.

Human history-altering newsflash: Scientists have demonstrated that injections of youthful blood carry semi-magical, rejuvenating qualities--at least for gray-whiskered mice. The researchers believe that the same might hold true for humans, suggesting that diseases like Alzheimer’s and indeed aging itself might be prevented through the transfusion of the youth’s vigorous lifeblood.

To clarify: No, this revelation is not the premise of the next blowout romance-vampire movie trilogy. It is a real scientific discovery made in Stanford University’s laboratories and presented earlier this week at the Society for Neuroscience conference in New Orleans.

Article a while back mentioned how wifi/EMF/ELF weakened the BBB.

Some reason I've a feeling there's dots to connect there.

This is just too bizarre! My

This is just too bizarre! My friend Tarrin Lupo just finished a sci fi book about this very thing. Its called "One Nation Under Blood" and its about the blood of the young being forcefully taken from them to rejuvenate the old.

"“One Nation Under Blood” is a dystopian tale about a new blood technology that allows old people to heal themselves with children’s blood. A supply and demand problem develops. In response the government makes a law forcing the youth to routinely donate their blood. To stream line the process kids are rounded up and milked at blood camps. Seniors living off the blood of the young gives a whole new creepy definition to the word vampire. COMING OUT 10-30-12."
